GUARD FOR RECEPTACLES FOR WHIPPING CREAM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1910.

Application filed August 17, 1910. Serial No. 577,621.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NORAH M. DOHERTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vernon Center, in the count-y of Tolland and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Guards for Receptacles for Whipping Cream; and

cient device of this nature comprising essentially a cover having a hinged top, the adjacent sections of the covers having recesses which, when they come together, are adapted to surround the stirring device, the parts of the device interlocking as they are brought into adjusted positions.

The invention. comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which 2-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device showing the top adjusted for use. Fig. 2 is a top plan View, parts being broken away, the top open in solid lines and closed in dotted. Fig. 3 is a view transversely through the device, and Fig. 4 is a sectional View showing the manner in which the recessed portions interlock.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a surrounding wall of the device which has a top made up of two sections, designated respectively by letters C and B, the former of which is fixed and the latter pivotally mounted upon the hinge D. Said section B has a flange B and one edge has a concaved recess for the reception of the flange E which is recessed as at F for the reception of the ends of the flange I which is fixed in a recess in the edge of the fixed top C. Upon reference to Fig. 2 of the drawings, it will be seen how the ends of the flange E telescope within the ends of the flange I.

It will be noted that the ends of the fixed portion of the top are recessed away as at N and that the pivoted portion of the top is adapted to swing underneath the edge of the fixed top to assume the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 and in which position the flange I will engage the recesses F formed in the swinging pivotal top adjacent to each end of the flange E. When the pivotal top is swung to the position shown in Fig. 1, a locking key 0 may be passed through registering eyes Q formed in the fixed and pivotal tops, thereby forming means for securely holding the pivotal section in place.

In operation, the device adjusted as shown in Fig. 1 is placed over the bowl containing the cream to be whipped and the shank portion of the stirrer may be passed through the central opening formed by the two concaved flanges and, when the material is stirred, the surrounding portion of the device will prevent the material being stirred frolrp flying by centrifugal force beyond said wa What I claim to be new is A device for preventing whipped cream from spattering comprising a cover adapted to fit over a receptacle, a top, a ortion of which is fixed and the other hinged, the meeting edges of the two sections adapted to overlap when in closed relation, each section having a concaved recess, a flange in each recess, the ends of which are adapted to overlap, the top adjacent to the end of the flange in the hinged section being recessed away and adapted to receive the flange upon the fixed part of the top.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

NORAH M. DOHERTY.
